Boy chop. Waddoyamean hubby, lol. He was out and was back for the last one. Son, Jase kept saying, mum, I recon there is another one. All is now quiet on the western front. One lot of bedding on the line, another lot to go and fresh stuff on there. She had another still born I am gonna have a few drinks. FIL will be told I have earned her after tonight.

Well done Di!!!! Well worth the effort, huh? Pretty looks so well and relaxed. It is as if she's done it all before! Congratulations Who do you think they look like mostly.. Mum or Dad? and to you and pretty for a job well done.

OMG! This is fantastic. You both must be exhausted. Congratulations on 6 beautiful pups. It will be so great to watch them grow up. Lots of photos as they grow pleeeeeze. And thank you for being so prompt with the uploading of that photo. You must be so organised.

Thank you everyone. Dad is also a blue heeler x.
I was watching her yesterday and early evening very closely for waters breaking, any signs of labour. 6pm hubby comes home, she goes outside and follows him pottering around a bit. Back inside, about 7pm I asked her "aren't you getting over all this waiting? I AM" and whammo, I saw a contraction and a push. I yelled for jase that she was starting and went up the hall to get a drink of water. You can see her from the kitchen, down the hall to our room and there she was hooking. I made it just in time to see the first emerge. She gave me a look of astonishment then went to work. The others were then born lying down after a few pushes. A few were born feet first and we were ready to help out but pfft, piece of cake to her and they were born as easily as the others. Not all seemed to be encased in sacs. I got a surprise with the last still born as I thought she had finished. A bit later more contractions and she expelled what looked like placenta. She was bright and chipper.

I kept an eye on her reading in bed till 3am then told her that I had been a mother 29 years and for humans it never stops and she only had to a few months. I put earplugs in and slept quite well, waking to check when pups's mewling penetrated now and then but she settled them quickly. All the right instincts are in place.

9am hubby went by on the road with cattle and yapping dogs. She came to the door yelping and whinging and wanting to go with them.
Of course I didn't let her out and I started walking back to the pups, she followed and immediately settled with them.

Bloody vet and his "I see 2 large pups but there might be more hiding". Told ya I recon it was a mock one running a video loop of an ultrasound

Oh Di the way you tell a story is just priceless ! Its the best way to start of a morning , god love ya!

Still thinking of the right name for my little bundle of cuteness , it was going to be Matilda ( as in,Waltzing Matilda-Aussie Blue and all that ) but the rotten bugger went and decided to be a boy *sigh*
